A Self-Adaptive Fuzzy c-Means Algorithm for Determining the Optimal Number of Clusters

For the shortcoming of fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM) needing to know the number of clusters in advance, this paper proposed a new self-adaptive method to determine the optimal number of clusters. Firstly, a density-based algorithm was put forward. The algorithm, according to the characteristics of t...
